Gays and Dolls

Ah, Wednesdays. New Comic Book Day. That little day in the middle of the week that helps us get through the rest of it. Wednesdays also have new toys, and everyone loves toys.

Except some, but I'm not talking to those people right now. They don't like toys.

I thought last week was slow for toys. This week is even slower.

More after the jump. Thought not a lot...it's kind of depressing.

Kidrobot put out their Adult Swim line tomorrow, which includes little soft vynil toys of characters from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, Frisky Dingo, The Venture Bros., Metalocalypse, Robot Chicken, Squidbillies, Moral Orel and Assy McGee. What's kind of irritating is they're blind boxed...which means exactly what it sounds like. You don't know what you're getting. Which to me, is never much of an incentive, especially at almost $8 a pop.

Sideshow collectibles has listed a Predator on Horse statue due out in early 2009.

That's it for this week. If I missed any or there are some in the future you want me to talk about, send me an email.

Those Kidrobot vs. Adult Swim toys have been out for a while--I got a couple at my comic shop over a month ago. They might just be shipping out more...

I got the Monarch and Carl, who I traded in for a Robot Chicken, because I really hate Carl...

Ok. Usually my store gets everything as it comes out. "Usually" being the key word. :P

Comic of the Week

Northstar's Boyfriend Coming In January! You guys may recall I was a bit cranky about Northstar and his lack of lovin' about a year and a half ago. In fact, at the time, I issued a challenge to Marvel to get him a kiss by June 2009 or I would declare him not really gay. I have not forgotten about this. However, when the X-men moved to San Francisco this year, we were teased with the existence of what looked to be Northstar's boyfriend (and manager), so I delayed judgment until we could see more. Since then, Northstar hasn't had a lot of major appearances, as there have been about a thousand major crossover events in the Marvel universe in the last six months, and each one tends to disrupt the normal storyline for most books, including the many X-books. So I waited. Our patience seems to have been rewarded! Artist Tim Fish revealed on his blog that his upcoming story in Nation X #2 (which comes out in Jan.) is a story about Northstar, and will feature Kyle, his boyfriend in an 8-page story. I'm not sure if an actual kiss is in it, but it's implied that there is some lovin' going on. Check out some sketches of Northstar, Kyle, and Aurora below, and we'll keep you up to date when we get closer to Jan. NATION X #2 1/6/10 [TimFishWorks]...
